Night time, light, happy music plays from the radio as the girl practices stances while Skywalker lays down in a patch of grass. The music becomes static and soon after, a voice is heard. "Good evening, my fellow Equalists.", the girl stops her practicing and sharply looks at the radio as Skywalker sits up right.
"This is your leader, Amon. As you have heard, the Republic Council has voted to make me public enemy number one, proving once again that the bending oppressors of this city will stop at nothing to quash our revolution. But we cannot be stopped. Our numbers grow stronger by the day. You no longer have to live in fear. The time has come for benders to experience fear." after saying that, the radio returns to static.
The girl looks at the radio with an fearful expression on her face, Skywalker looks worried as he places a hand on her shoulder. "W-What?" she asked him as she turned to look at him. "Don't be afraid, Korra... I won't ever let him harm you." Skywalker told her, looking her straight in the eyes. He could see that she was reassured by this, if even a little. "Jason..." She started slowly, "You can be such a girl sometimes.", she told him with a little chuckle before giving him a playful punch to the shoulder. "What's that supposed to mean!?" he asked her as both broke down in laughter.
Meanwhile back at Equestria, the gang are in a train. "Thank you all for helping me get the cake safely on the dessert car." Pinkie thanked her friends. "Thank you for inviting us all to go with you to Canterlot for the National Dessert Competition." Twilight said, as they all agreed.
"Marzipan Mascarpone Meringue Madness." Pinkie said as she looked up at the MMMM, "All that rich creamy goodness of the marzipan, combined with the tart tanginess of the mascarpone, blended perfectly with the smooth, silky sweetness of the meringue. That's why I call the Marzipan Mascarpone Meringue Madness the 'MMMM'. It's sure to win first prize."
Soon they were joined by four other competitors, A griffon named Gustave le Grand with Exquisite Éclairs, Donut Joe with his Donutopia and Mulia Mild with her Chocolate Mousse Moose.
"Well, it sure looks like we're in for a delicious competition tomorrow." Phoenix noted as the other competitors retired to their rooms. "Maybe we should all settle in for a good night's sleep." Twilight suggested, as most of the girls agreed. "I gotta admit I'm pretty beat." Rainbow said gaining a confused look from Sutakira, "It's two in the afternoon!" he shouted as they made their way they made their way to the sleeping cabin.
"Yeah, I'm gonna hit the hay myself than I'm going to bed." Applejack said as she went into her room. "Wait! Didn't you hear those chefs? We have to protect 'MMMM'. I know for super sure that 'MMMM' is the best dessert in all of Equestria, and I know that they know it too. So one of them is going to sabotage the Cakes' cake tonight! You have to help me stand guard!" Pinkie explained but her friends wouldn't listen as they all went to their cabin.
"I'll show them. I'll stay up all night and protect you. Nothing and nobody will stop me from keeping you safe." Pinkie said as she kept staring at the MMMM without blinking.
"Say, Twilight. I have a question." Sutakira asked gaining Twilight's attention, "I have this theory, but I want your opinion on it. You seem those letters you send through Spike's fire can reach anyone anywhere right?" he explained, gaining a nod from the unicorn, "So I was thinking. Maybe we could send Skywalker a letter to tell him how to get back home." he said, gaining another nod from her.
Back at the desert wagon where Pinkie was still looking at the cake with out blinking. "Hey Pinkie." McGrath said as he entered the wagon. "How is everything going?".
"One of those bakers is mixing up something bad." Pinkie said, not turning her gaze from the MMMM, "I'm not leaving it no matter what.", as she said that the blinds shut, covering the wagon in darkness.
"Huh? Who turned out the moon?" Pinkie asked, looking around, "Don't go near that cake, thief!" McGrath shouted as he charged an energy spear in his hand. The light of the energy illuminated the room, but there was nobody in the wagon except for McGrath and Pinkie.
"Overreacting, my ass!" Pinkie scoffed, gaining a surprised look from her friend, "Did you said, 'my ass'?" he asked, making her nod, "I like it." he said with a half smile.
"I know. I knew I was going to have to keep a close eye on you, and that's just what I'm gonna do." she said moments before she fell asleep.
McGrath gave a deep sigh, "Dumb ass.".
"Archmage! Are you awake?" Phoenix asked as he entered Twilight, cabin. Twilight gave a soft grunt, as she poke her head from under her pillow, "I was." she says slightly irritated as the red head took a seat at the edge of her bed.
"Okay good. I have this problem." he started to explain his problem, totally ignoring the irritated look Twilight was giving him. "You see now when I have sex with random mares it just doesn't feel the same anymore. It feels empty". Twilight couldn't help but roll her eyes at his statement, "Jeez, who thought that meaningless sex with random mares could feel so empty?", she remarked.
"All I can think about when I have sex is... blond hair." he said gaining a chuckle from the unicorn. "So you have a crush on AJ? You two would never work." She said gaining a questioning from her friend, "Well she is an honest hard working mare and you..." she started to explain but she was interrupted by her cabin door open, revealings Griffifth, "Your an annoying man child.", he said gaining a chuckle from the unicorn and a angry glare from his red headed friend. "That question wasn't directed to you!", Phoenix shouted but his friend merely shrug his shoulders. "Was it a question?" he said as he closed the door.
The next morning, Pinkie was the first to wake up, but she noticed something heavy leaning against her. Looking up she was the sleeping form of McGrath leaning against her. This got a blush on her face, her crush had stayed with her all night. "So cute... I guess it wouldn't hurt." she said to herself as she leaned in. But before she could plant her muzzle on his lips, the pale brunette woke up. "What are you doing?" he asked gaining a nervous chuckle from his pink friend.
"N-Nothing!" she said still with a blush on her face, "I think some congratulations are in order for a job well done.", she told him rubbing the back of her head. McGrath studied the MMMM before his his widened, "Um, you better hold off on giving yourself an award just yet, Pinkie. Look.", he told her as he pointed to the other side of the MMMM seems eaten.
"It's the Marzipan Mascarpone Meringue Madness, it's been mutilated!" Pinkie shouted before calming down, "Now we just need to find out who done it.".
"You mean, who did it." he corrected her gaining a nod from her, "Exactly. Who did-done-do it. But how..." she wondered. "Well, having read many Batman comic's, I know that the only way to discover the culprit is to investigate."
Pinkie Pie nodded as she put on a sherlock homes hat, "Exactly. And as chief detective, that's exactly what I'm gonna do, and you McGrath shall be my lowly assistant who asks silly questions with obvious answers." puts an bowl hat on McGrath's head.
Unfortunately, Pinkie couldn't find any clues to the mystery, even after the rest of the gang woke up and helped them out. "I still have no idea who do-doned it!" Pinkie exclaimed as Sutakira nodded, "This mystery gets more mysterious every minute." he said as McGrath cleared his throat gaining the attention from the rest. "Well, you have to stop the wild accusations and get to the truth... Its time." he said as he got a devilish smile on his face. "That can't be good." Sutakira remarked about the smile.
"Wait who is he, McGrath?" Pinkie said but to everyone's surprise, McGrath had disappeared from the same spot he just stood without a trace.
"You called?" a deep raspy voice came from the window, turning their gaze to see a man in a black spandex suit, with a bat shaped mask and a cape. "Batman?" the guys asked as Batman dropped from the window and started to study the deserts.
"Everybody go back to your cars while Pinkie Pie and I do a little investigating." Batman told them as everybody left for him to investigate the crime scene. "Now you were here at the scene of the crime all night." Batman asked her as he studied the crime scene.
Pinkie looked at him in shock, "Huh! You're not accusing me, are you?" she asked him, but he shook his head before continuing. "No. But maybe you saw something that will help us. Let's retrace your steps."
It didn't took long for Batman to find all sort of clues but Pinkie couldn't see what he was finding was he put all the evidence in his utility belt, and after retracing all the steps, Batman had enough to catch the cake culprit.
"Am I the only one who thinks its weird that Batman is suddenly here?" Big Macintosh said gaining a deep sight from Sutakira, "Weird? Okay, you are a talking pony, okay? We live in a world with physical god and goddesses! We are in no position to sit in judgement about what's weird!" Sutakira remarked dryly.
Batman cleared his throat gaining the attention from everyone in the room, "I bet you're wondering why you're all here again.", he said gaining a nod from the other competitors
"He's good." Donut Joe whisperer as Batman continued "We have discovered the true culprit. You see, when committing a crime, it's crucial that one never leaves behind clues, especially an obvious clue like... this.", he declared as he pulled out a blue feather from his utility belt.
"A-ha! A blue feather! I knew it was you, Gustave le Grand!" Pinkie said accusingly but Batman held her back, "Pinkie, Gustave doesn't have blue feathers." he corrected her but she shook her head, "No, 'cause he's been dyeing them!" she said but Batman shook his head.
"No, Pinkie. Remember how when you chased the suspect to the caboose, they suddenly disappeared? That's because they flew away. But the thief did leave a little something behind, didn't you, Rainbow Dash?" he pointed a gloved finger at the blue pegasi making the rest gasp in shock.
"I-I don't even like cake!" Rainbow said trying to defend herself but this made her friends laugh, the only one who was a bigger sweet tooth than her was McGrath, if you don't count Pinkie that is.
"So Rainbow Dash did it! Case solved!" Pinkie said proudly but Batman cleared his throat again, making everyone turn their attention back to him. Case not solved, because when we went to the engine, I saw the conductor's hat. And inside the hat was... this." he showed them a strain of pink hair, making everyone gasp yet again, "You chased a pony to the engine, where you thought you saw the conductor shoveling coal, but that wasn't the conductor at all. It was... Fluttershy!" he said again, pointing his gloved finger at the yellow pegasi, who let out gasp.
"So the cake thieves are two pegasi... How unsurprising." Big Macintosh said gaining a surprised look from his guy friends, "Dude, that sounded kind of racist.", Phoenix remarked but they soon turned their attention to the investigation by what Pinkie shouted.
"You're goin' down, Fluttershy!", she prepared herself to leap at her but she was stopped by the guys quickly standing between them, "You really want Skywalker going after you?", he asked and at this she backed off.
"But another clue confounded my suspicions." Batman continued as he let his gaze over the assembled group, "Pinkie and McGrath were guarding the cake when the curtains mysteriously closed. But that's no mystery, that's super powers. But when the thief tried to make their great escape, they left a little addition to the portrait. Like strains of blue hair." he said showing them a whitish blue hair, making the group turn their attention to Sutakira.
"Fine! I took a bite of the cake.", he admitted looking at the ground, "Why is Batman so good at finding clues." he muttered as the two pegasi apologized themselves.
"That's okay. At least this mystery is finally solved." Pinkie remarked with a big smile, she couldn't stay mad at anyone, especially not her best's of best friends.
With still a half hour to arrive, the gang worked quickly to fill the holes left the prove tasting from Sutakira, Rainbow and Fluttershy. It all ended well as Pinkie relayed what had happened and what she had learned to Celestia, "I learned that it is not good to jump to conclusions. You have to find out all the facts before saying somebody did something. If you don't, you could end up blaming somebody for something they never did. This could hurt their feelings, and it can make you look really foolish. So from now on, I will always make sure to get all the facts." Pinkie explained gaining a approving nod from the solar princess, "So, yeah it was a pretty average Thursday.".
The princess gave another nod before tasting the cake, "Indeed. Now where is this Batman who solved this mystery? I would like to meet him." she asked but nobody had seen him after they arrived at Canterlot.
Meanwhile on one of the taller buildings of Canterlot City, Batman was kneeling down on a gargoyle looking over the city. "This city needs a protector. She calls out for a help, and I will answer her call." he declared as he jumped of the building using his cape to glide off into the day.
At a race track and two cars were racing as Skywalker, Korra, two young mans named Mako and Bolin and another girl named Asami were spectating from the stands. "Pretty cool, huh?" Asami asked as Korra nodded in agreement, "Way cooler than a makeover!" she said, turning her gaze to her alien friend who was looking disinterested and with his head in his hand, "You apparently never had a Rarity makeover..." he said making his friends wonder what a Rarity was.
"Ever been behind the wheel?" Asami asked him but Skywalker responded that he was more of a motorcycle guy.
Suddenly a purple flash appeared in his hand as a roll of parchment fell into his hand. "This is new" Skywalker remarked dryly before opening the scroll and started to read it contends with his friends looking over his shoulder.
